Description

The present invention relates to a putting practice method that can improve putting technique and make practice effective by being attached to a golf putter.

In recent years, golf has become popular and there are not many practice areas due to the increased number of practice areas. However, there are few practice areas for putters, and general players practice using home carpets or artificial grass for putting practice. Yes. Roll the ball on the carpet. Of course, there is no lawn and no inclination, so the ball should roll in the intended direction, but it doesn't work. The reason for this is that the action of putting cannot be influenced sufficiently by consciousness, but merely a conditioned reflection. If it can be influenced by consciousness, no special practice is required. It is enough to hit with the correct form.

However, it will be difficult if it is a conditional reflection. Therefore, it is important to train where the ball can be hit at the intended hitting point at any time with the conditioned reflection sufficiently strengthened where there is no lawn or inclination. By repeating this training, the conditioned reflex of the muscle can be strengthened and the putting technique can be improved. It is a practice method to improve your putting.

When examining the prior art related to putt practice methods and putter practice devices, the putter head has a built-in mechanism for confirming the hitting points, and the putter itself is equipped with an alarm device, sound generation circuit, battery, etc. Because it is attached, it cannot be used in actual play. For this reason, there are various differences in the weight distribution and design of the putter for practice and the putter for play, and the effect of practice does not come out. Of course, it is not suitable for practice for strengthening the conditioned reflex of muscles.
(For example, see Patent Document 1)

If the putter head itself has the built-in dot check mechanism, for example, it is not sufficient as a practice method for an advanced person who wants to practice using multiple shots intentionally. It is.
The aim of the prior art is chasing after the ball hits the putter head. As mentioned above, there are problems before that, but many golfers are not aware of this. There is one problem here. It cannot be visually confirmed whether or not the ball hits the hitting point intended by the putter. The current situation is that if the ball rolls straight after it hits, it is judged that the hit point has been hit.

In addition, what is important for making a golf ball cup-in is that the ball hits the putter head, hits the ball at the intended hitting point, and reaches the cup. That is, the strength of the hit ball, that is, the sense of distance. Even if the ball hits the ball exactly at the intended hit point and the directionality is secured, there are cases where it is impossible to cup-in due to the difference in strength and distance. In other words, amateurs often experience “not reachable” and “too much”. In practice, a sense of distance is also important, and strengthening the sense of distance is important as a practice method .

In view of the above problems, a hitting point detection sensor can be attached to and removed from the face surface of the putter head part with a double-sided adhesive tape, etc., and also has an impact detection function for confirming the strength of the hit ball but have also been proposed, for in this case the sensor is in direct contact with the ball, the failure of the sensor, there is a problem of deterioration, by repeating the training, is a practice way to become well, it is not sufficient.
In addition, they are attached to a putter other than the putter used in the play, and there is another difference in the sense of actual play, which is unsatisfactory as practice.
(For example, see Patent Documents 2 and 3)

Also, if the sensor for detecting the hitting point can be detachably attached with double-sided adhesive tape etc., its attachment position is important as a practice method , but if you want to change that position during practice, In practice after play, when attaching / detaching the hit point detection sensor during practice, there is a problem that it is not easy to accurately match the intended hit point again.

As described above, the most important thing in putting practice is to strike the ball firmly at the hitting point intended by the putter, and to remember the sense of strength of the hit ball, that is, the sense of distance as a conditional reflection in the muscle. It is important to reinforce it and repeat such practice. Therefore, using the putter for playing itself, you can confirm that the ball hits the intended hitting point accurately, know the strength of rolling of the hit ball, and use it for repeated exercises. It is an object of the present invention to provide a putting practice method that can attach a hitting point detection sensor accurately to an intended hitting point even after repeated attachment and detachment.

The technical means for solving the problems adopted by the present invention in order to solve the problem is that the player puts one sensor on the sweet spot existing in the putter head of the putter used in play and a plurality of hit points other than the sweet spot. , removably, attached optionally, its output is taken out via a cord, golf ball pre - to strike the intended yer for, only when hit exactly, the output light, sound effect, numerical values It is intended to provide a putting practice method in which a player is informed by a notification device such as a display, a speaker, a lamp and the like.

It can be confirmed that the ball hits the hitting point intended by the putter head accurately, and by repeating the practice, the conditioned reflex can be repeated and strengthened in the muscle.
Knowing how strong the ball was hit can make the muscles remember the distance. Furthermore, visually observing the indicator lamp or the like for confirming that the ball has hit the intended hitting point also leads to prevention of head-up. Furthermore, since it is detachably attached to the play putter itself, the result of the practice can be reflected in the play as it is.

Schematic configuration diagram of the putting practice method of the present invention The state figure which attached the sensor in the Example of the present invention State of use of another embodiment of the present invention Adhesive tape with position mark for sensor mounting. Protective member with mark The indicator attachment state figure of Example 3. FIG.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram of the putting practice method of the present invention.
The sensor 1 is attached to the putter head 2 by an adhesive tape 3, and the cord 4 for capturing the output from the sensor 1 is fastened to the putter shaft 5 by the adhesive tape 6. It is connected to the. The notification device 7 is equipped with a speaker, a display, a converter, a lamp and the like.
On the upper surface of the putter head, there is generally shown a site line 8 indicating the vertical position of the sweet spot existing on the hitting surface of the head. Those with shallow grooves carved , etc.
Various types are commercially available.

The direction of the putt is almost determined at the moment the ball hits the putter head.
If the ball hits the intended hitting point accurately and strokes firmly, at least the line is maintained, so the chance for a cup-in is great. However, if there is not enough distance even if it hits correctly, there is no cup-in. It is important to train a sense of distance. In the present invention, it is created as a putting practice method that displays whether or not the ball hits the intended hitting point accurately, and further displays the strength of the hitting ball in stages, and makes the muscles feel the sense by conditional reflex. did.

In the putting practice method of the present invention, the moment can be confirmed by using various sensors, that is, the moment the ball hits the sensor attached to the intended hitting point, the output of the sensor is amplified and converted. The player can be notified by transfer, light, etc.

There are various types of putters depending on the weight distribution and design of the head part.
It is important to attach it to the putter used for play.
Sensor attachment is detachable, easy to attach and detach, when attaching a thin sensor part directly to the hitting surface of the head using adhesive tape, double-sided adhesive tape, etc. As shown in FIG. 2, the sensor may be covered with a member that protects against impact as a separate cover type, and mounted on the putter head.

If the sensor for detecting the hitting point can be detachably attached with adhesive tape, etc., the attachment position is important as a practice method, but if you want to change that position during practice, or before practice and after play In practice, when attaching and detaching the hit point detection sensor during practice, it is not easy to accurately match the intended hit point again. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. The one with a mark indicating the position is displayed.
Since only the sensor part is attached, there is no significant change in the weight of the putter.

The types of sensors include pressure sensors, strain gauges, electromagnetic coils, magnets, etc., so not only confirm that the ball hits the intended hitting point accurately, but also express the impact strength as a numerical value. In order to confirm the strength of hitting the ball, and when it is out of the intended hitting point, these sensors can be used alone or in order to indicate whether the ball has come outside or outside. In combination, various information can be selected so that the player can be informed of various information.

The notification device may be placed in any place that does not get in the way. It goes without saying that the distance from the ball should be as short as possible, and placing it in front of the ball striking surface will also prevent head-up. FIG. 3 shows this state.
Further, when only confirming that the ball hits the intended hitting point, it is possible to attach a small indicator 12 to the base portion of the putter shaft as shown in FIG.

The above, and thus to practice the method of the putt, by practice, can strengthen muscles conditioned reflex of.
On the day of play, you can use the practice green, and by using it, you can check the strength of the turf and the speed of the green from the value of the strength of the hit ball.
Remove the sensor when playing.

In the case of an amateur, the intended hitting point is generally a sweet spot. In accordance with the site line 8, it is preferable that the attachment is performed with an attachment member with a mark serving as an indication of the attachment position. In other words, it is possible to match using the mark display line 9. The mark display line 10 is a guide for the horizontal position. Each person should put a mark on the putter head and place it in advance.

On the other hand, for an advanced person who wants to practice to be able to use a plurality of hit points intentionally, he can practice with the desired hit points .
Even if you are an advanced player, you cannot confirm by eye whether or not the ball hits the intended hitting point accurately.

FIG. 2 shows a state where the sensor 1 is attached to the sweet spot of the putter head 2 with an adhesive tape 3 and covered with a protective member 13 in the putting practice method of the present invention. The sensor 1 is a pressure sensor, and the resistance value changes according to the applied pressure. The change is converted into an electric current, and a false sound is generated by a notification device, and the ball hits an intended hitting point (in this case, a sweet spot). The player can be informed of the correct hit. As the pressure sensor, “FSR-400” (registered trademark) is used.

FIG. 3 is a usage state diagram in which the strength when the ball is hit in the putting practice method of the present invention is displayed numerically on the display unit of the notification device 11. By comparing the values at home and on the carpet with the values on the practice green, it will serve as a reference for the strength of hitting the ball on the day's green.

Fig. 6 shows an example of simply confirming that the ball hits the intended hit point.
A small indicator 12 with a lamp is attached to the base of the putter shaft, making it easier to practice.
